Factors that affect your Employees’ Satisfaction

Here are some variables you should consider while working on your Organizational Success

Many studies have shown that sufficient motivation would lead to job satisfaction, while taking into consideration various factors and causes. First they have considered that gender, age, profession, earnings and education determine high and low job satisfaction. Later on, other variables that are linked to organizational context and job content have disputed this idea as they were seen better in explaining differences in job satisfaction.

Earlier in time, studies have proved that some of the job attributes such as task identity, autonomy, variety and feedback can highly affect employee behavior and attitudes at work. They have also linked job commitment with job satisfaction, arguing that employees will be satisfied and committed to their responsibilities and tasks whenever there are recognition, affective orientation and participation within their organization.

In addition, many have reported other job satisfaction determinants such as task clarity, promotional opportunity, proper skills utilization, value of task along with relationships with colleagues and managers and organizational commitment. Finally, they decided that work environment most important dimensions are; task significance & identity, skill variety, autonomy and feedback.

Finally, most of the studies showed that employees who develop psychological attachment or commitment to their employers are those who are more satisfied towards their working conditions and the existence of a strong relation between future revenue with customer satisfaction and customer satisfaction with employee satisfaction.

In Conclusion, employers should try hard to investigate and evaluate why would their employees end up dissatisfied, or leave. In reality, this is critical to their organizational success.

Various studies have classified variables affecting Employee Satisfaction into two main categories, where there are Organizational and Personal Variables:
